PETER HENDERSON & CO.; NEW YORK— FLOWER ROOTS 



GERMAN IRIS or -FLEUR-DE-LIS 



Iris Germanica 



These the true Fleur- 

 de-Lis — but greatly im- 

 proved — are well termed 

 "Garden Orchids" and 

 they fairly outrival the 

 orchids in wide range of 

 coloring — both in dainty 

 combinations and rich 

 and vivid colors. 



Our collection con- 

 tains many new and 

 choice varieties, and we 

 are confident they will 

 prove revelations of 

 beauty to Iris lovers. 

 The roots should be 

 divided and replanted 

 every fourth year in 

 September as the plants 

 are then dormant. The 

 roots are ready for ship- 

 ment from Sept. 15 to 

 Nov. 15. (See engrav- 

 ing.) If wanted by Pat' 

 eel Post add postage at 

 Zone Rates on page 2 of 

 cover. Packed weight 2 

 lbs. per dozen.

HENDERSON'S MODERN PEONIES. 



Within the past few years this magnificent section of 

 hardy herbaceous flowering plants has been brought into 

 prominent notice because of the general improvement in 

 varieties of recent origin. There is an element of practical, 

 permanent value in the Peony; that is, the plants once 

 purchased and planted in suitable soil, continue to increase in 

 size and profusion of bloom, and pay a generous annual divi- 

 dend in an enormous 

 crop_ of magnificent, 

 deliciously fragrant* 

 blooms unsurpassed for 

 decorating purposes.
